Make sure that your request to obtain a Military Conduct Sheet indicates that the purpose of your request is to apply for an expungement of convictions and that it includes the following information:

If you are applying on your own behalf:

  • Your first and last name (if these have changed, please state your name at the time of your conviction);
  • Your date of birth;
  • Your Military Identification or Service Number;
  • Your enlistment and discharge dates;
  • Your signature.

If you are applying on behalf of a deceased person:

  • The person’s first and last name (if these have changed, please state their complete name at the time of the conviction);
  • The person’s date of birth;
  • The person’s Military Identification or Service Number (if known);
  • The person’s enlistment and discharge dates (if known);
  • Your first and last name and signature as applicant;
  • A death certificate or other proof of death of the person on whose behalf you are applying;
  • Proof of your relationship with the deceased person.

If no conduct sheet exists or could be located, you must provide a letter from the Commanding Officer or the appropriate organization which indicates that no information is available.

IMPORTANT!

If you were unable to obtain the Military Conduct Sheet (e.g., the file was destroyed) or if the Military Conduct Sheet does not clearly demonstrate that all relevant criteria (see Step 1) for expungement are met, you must produce a sworn statement or solemn declaration (see Step 4).
